Feature Request: Ability to add resource pages to the navigation

[wrystr]

First of all, I want to say thank you all for bringing this beautiful CMS.

I can't seem to add resource pages to a navigation, is this expected or are there settings somewhere I've missed?

I would be very grateful if this could happen. Sometimes I need to group pages into resources and display them but only what I want to display in the navigation.

For now I can work around this by using resources to create navigation and limiting it by utilizing the parent page and sub page level 1.

I've been recycling the MenuPresenter. Locally I have Spina::ResourceMenuPresenter with a the scoped_collection overriden:

module Spina
  class ResourceMenuPresenter < MenuPresenter
    def scoped_collection(collection)
      scoped = collection.active.in_menu.sorted
      include_drafts ? scoped : scoped.live
    end
  end
end

and then to use it I'll pass the collection I care about, e.g.

  <% presenter = Spina::ResourceMenuPresenter.new(current_page.resource.pages) %>
  <% presenter.config.list_css = "delightful-styles" %>
  <% presenter.config.current_list_item_css = "seriously-just-gorgeous" %>
  <% presenter.config.link_tag_css = "ok-maybe-i-have-bias" %>
  <%= presenter.to_html %>

So really just dropping the .regular_pages scope from the collection might give you what you want.

While that's a good solution for creating a navigation menu in your frontend, I think @wrystr means he wants to add resource pages to the Spina::Navigation model from the UI in Spina. On a db-level, there's nothing that prevents us from doing that. The challenge is creating a nice UI for looking up pages and adding them. Resources can contain many (in our case 100s) of pages, making a simple select which we use now unusable. So: we need some sort of fancy PageSelectWithSearchComponent!
